alive she cried

I'm just waiting for it to finish, and for ye to give me the nod confirming it's still worth a read.

I'll be honest, my biggest concern is merely whether or not it's going to be too derivative of King of Comedy and Taxi Driver. The influence is clearly abundant, they've been name checked as influential and it has De Niro in it for God's sake. I'll be astounded if they somehow missed the point of these films, and instead of showing us how and why the monster comes to be, it also decides to defend/side with him. I know there are imbeciles that cheer for Travis at the end of Taxi Driver, but that doesn't mean that Schrader, Scorsese and De Niro are. Should we really stop making art about terrible people for fear terrible people will identify with it?

I don't know about ye, but I'm going to actually watch the film before judging it.

I'm reading it at the moment, the art is phenomenal. 

Fuuuck! 

I don't know if we need it (actually I do know (we don't)), but after the unnecessary Better Call Saul turned out to be fucking fantastic, I'm pretty sure this is going to be great.

Yeah, exactly that. I can't imagine how a good Matrix 4 can happen if it's beholden to the sequels.

I'm absolutely flabbergasted that they let it come to this. Why build Peter up to be the new Iron Man to then just evict him from the MCU??? How the fuck do they explain his sudden absence?

I wish Disney would just buy Spider-Man outright, for what maybe a billion? They'd make it back in a couple of movies.

They should just forget about the sequels and make a good sequel to The Matrix. Either that or soft reboot it, keeping a couple of events from the sequels but dumping all the crap.

Nothing to apologise for, we're just really appreciative of all the work you do here.

Would it still appeal to those of us that didn't grow up with the books?

This could be amazing if the animation is up to scratch. If you look in the logo you can see potential episodes, in the top left you can clearly see Red Skull wearing Cap's costume.

According to Feige they're going full Kirby. I'll be honest though, I know next to nothing about them.

Lady Thor confirmed 

Apparently it's going to be the MCU's first horror film.

I've been hoping for a while they'd do this.

I'd recommend torrenting it to avoid spoilers.

p.s. Shit all our hats
